Q: what is the recommended brace height for 60-65 pound bamboo-backed hickory primitive bow? Asked on 4/24/2013 by Damian from Australia Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: I have mine set at 6 inches and it shoots well. I keep my recurve at 7 but due to the extra length of the longbow, I had to put a lot of twist in the string to get it to 6. I think any lower than that is going to cause you to start snapping your wrist. I hope this helps. Sent from Windows Mail Answered on 4/25/2013 by Anonymous A: Longbows are between 6 and 7 inches. I have one just like yours. With my arrows, draw length and pull weight, mine works best at 6 3/4. The thing to do is start out with a low brace height, shoot some arrows, listening for noise, and looking at performance. Then gradually twist the string 3 turns at a time until the bow quiets down. Sometimes it helps to have another person listen from the side. Answered on 4/30/2013 by Sasquatch Scott from Tacoma, Wa A: The brace height should be around 7 3/4.

Q: This may sound stupid but I am new to traditional bows. I was wondering which is the top limb? Is it the limb that has "The Lord is My Sheppard" written on it or is that the bottom or could it be either? Asked on 2/6/2013 by 97dend from Pittsburgh, PA Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: Because of the shape of this bow, it can be either, but I shoot with the writing on top. Just make sure that you pick one and stick with it for more consistent shooting. Sent from my HTC smartphone on the Now Network from Sprint! Answered on 2/11/2013 by Anonymous A: Excellent question. I had the same quandary. Traditionally, the writing is on the lower limb. I also looked at the back of the bow to make a mental note of the position of the horizontal band on the bamboo backing. I shoot my bow with the writing on the lower limb. Enjoy that bow. I love mine because it is "old timey" and brings back the fun. Don't forget to wear that glove on the bow hand. Also, I had to serve the bowstring myself, since the one that came with it was unserved. It's easy to do. Scott Answered on 2/6/2013 by Sasquatch Scott from Tacoma, Wa A: That phrase is written on the bottom limb of the bow. Answered on 2/6/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: If you check the tiller of the bow and one limb is lighter that would be the top. When you knock an arrow it will be closer to the top, and the extra deflection will put less stress on the top end. If there is little or no difference it wouldn't matter anyway. I used a caliper to check mine when I set the brace height measure and top and bottom of the grip to the string the side with the most space should be lighter. I didn't have a tiller board and my method seemed to work just fine, how ever it should be measured at your full draw and never past the rated draw length. Sent from my iPhone Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous A: Yes, as far as I understand the upper limb is the one with "The Lord is My Shepherd" written on it. I suspect this because it has an extra string notch. I always string the bow by putting the first loop on the lower limb then flexing the bow until I can put the second loop on to the first string notch on the upper limb, then proceed to move it to the second notch. I'm by no means an expert, but I hope my answer helps you. Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous
Q: im fairly new to archery could this be used for left handed archers Asked on 10/9/2012 by miguel the novice from chicago ill Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: I haven't received my bow yet but when I do I'll let you know if I think it's usable for left-handed archery. From what I've read it's very simplistic and can be used for both right-handed and left-handed archers but I'd rather be certain for myself before I recommend it. The only thing I think will make any difference is if there is an arrow-shelf but from what I can tell there is not. Like I said I'll reply again to this e-mail when I've received my bow in the mail and confirmed this for myself. Answered on 10/11/2012 by Anonymous A: Yes, this bow is ambidextrous.

Q: is it ok to use fastflight string with this bow? Asked on 8/16/2012 by carlos Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: No. Absolutely not! This type of bow may be damaged by a high-performance bowstring like Fastflight. Fastflight has no stretch, thus when the bow limbs hit the end of their forward travel and the string goes tight, all the remaining energy in the limbs is immediatly transferred to the limbs. This can break a wood bow. It is best to use a B-50 material string. A B-50 string has "give" or stretch. It acts like a shock absorber, taking much of the energy. Answered on 8/16/2012 by Sasquatch Scott from Tacoma, Wa A: It is not recommended that high performance strings be used with this bow. B-50 and Dacron will work well.

Q: hi i have a sage recurve bow i have had it for 1 and a half years , and have become pretty good at 50 meters , will this or any other longbow shoot the same as the sage , if not how much difference is there Asked on 7/6/2012 by tom Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: If you were to practice with this bow or any longbow just like you did the sage you will have about the same amount of accuracy. If you were to go back and forth between a recurve and a long bow you will notice the accuracy go down in both of them due to the different grip styles and design's.

Q: My friend would like this as her first bow. My concern is that she is a beginner. 5'2", 30 years old and rather slightly built. Is it likely too much for her to handle? If so, what other primitive bow, arrows, draw weights, etc., would you recommend for a beginner like this? Many thanks. Asked on 1/27/2012 by STAN from San Francisco Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: My concern would also be the same, that this might be too much bow to handle for her as a beginner. I would suggest a bow more in the #30 range to begin with. It promotes better form and shooting habits to start with a lighter bow and work into one heavier after that. Answered on 1/31/2012 by Dean from 3Rivers Archery A: i would recomend you a 45-50 lbs. bow it's a little heavy butwhit 2 o 3 shooting lessons she would shoot it like a pro, believe me. i'm 15 years old and i pull at 28 inches a 55-60 lbs bow in 2 weeks and 45 lbs it's not to much for a adult.
